Lazio and Napoli will face each other in Serie A this weekend. The match will be held at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome and is scheduled to kick off at 7:45pm UK time on Saturday. Both Lazio and Napoli are playing well and are in good form at the moment, and the match this weekend promises to be hugely entertaining and exciting.

Lazio

The Rome-based outfit are fifth in the league table at the moment with seven points from three matches, level on points with fourth-placed Napoli and three points behind leaders AS Roma.

Maurizio Sarri’s side started the 2022-23 Serie A campaign with a 2-1 win against Bologna at Stadio Olimpico in Rome before playing out a goalless draw with Torino away from home. Lazio then got the better of former Italian champions Inter Milan 3-1 at home in the league.

Team News:

Luis Alberto could start for Lazio against Napoli. Pedro could also find himself in the Lazio starting lineup ahead of Felipe Anderson.  Nicolo Casale could replace Patric in central defence.

Napoli

Napoli were challenging for the Scudetto last season, and the former Italian champions will be determined to win the Serie A title this time around. Luciano Spalletti’s came third in the league table last season, and this campaign they will be keen on beating Inter Milan, AC Milan and AS Roma among other clubs to the league title.

The Naples-based club are fourth in the Serie A table at the moment with seven points from three matches, just three points behind leaders AS Roma. Napoli started the campaign with a 5-2 win against Hellas Verona away from home in Serie A before hammering Monza 4-0 at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona. The Parthenopeans played out a goalless draw with Fiorentina away from home in Serie A last weekend.

Team News:

Diego Demme is sidelined with a foot injury and will not be back in the squad before next month. Adam Ounas is doubtful with a thigh problem.

Key Factors to Consider

• Lazio have scored five goals in three Serie A matches.
• Lazio have conceded two goals in three Serie A matches.
• Napoli have scored nine goals in three Serie A games.

Conclusion

Lazio are a good team who will have home advantage against Napoli. It is hard to see the Eagles lose, just as it is equally tough to envisage Napoli slipping up given the quality of players they have and the form that they are in at the moment. A draw is the most likely outcome in this game.
